But on Saturday night, they return to Music City with the rest of this year’s “Top 11” contestants for the American Idols Live! concert tour. The group includes fan favorites like Pia Toscano (who was eliminated early in the shocker of the season), rock wailer James Durbin and part-time Nashville resident Paul McDonald.

In addition to a climactic showcase from McCreery, expect to see the sorts of solos, duets and group numbers that filled Idol’s weekly results shows, with one key difference: This gang has had a good month (rather than a few days) to get these performances into shape.

The show is 7 p.m. Saturday, July 30 at Bridgestone Arena (501 Broadway, 770-7825), and tickets are $42.50-$62.50.
